    10 rounds at middleweight. Two tough, hard hitting middleweights.
    Who and why?

    With both men at their best, I`ll pick Hank.

    He was the busier fighter of the two and Bennie didn`t have the firepower to hurt him (then again, who did?) either. Hank would fire away with both fists all night on the ever advancing Briscoe, who while he will get his pound of flesh in it won`t be enough as he will be outpunched and outfought in close all night.

    Hank was a veritable iron man in an era and division that was full of excellent fighters, and he more than held his own with all of them even in his losing efforts. Henry by decision in fight that sees the paying fans going home feeling they got more than their money`s worth.
